JUNIPER-EX-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB

Updated Apr 28, 2010
AI MIB Summary

The JUNIPER-EX-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB configures and triggers SNMP traps on Juniper EX series switches to notify management systems of dynamic MAC address additions and removals within the device's forwarding database. This mechanism enables real-time monitoring of Layer 2 topology changes and MAC table instability by exposing specific MAC notification events rather than static interface statistics.

This MIB module is for configuration of the MAC notification feature. MAC notification is a mechanism to inform monitoring devices when there are MAC addresses learnt or removed from the forwarding database of the monitored devices.

jnxMacGlobalFeatureEnabledIndicates whether the MAC notification feature is currently running in the device. Setting this object to false(2) disables the MAC notification feature globally. Setting this object to true(1) will start the MAC notification feature running in the device. If the feature is already running, setting to true(1) has no effect.ro

.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.40.1.7.1.1.1.1
jnxMacNotificationIntervalThis object specifies the maximum interval of time between jnxMacChangedNotifications being generated by the device. If the value of jnxNotificationsEnabled is true(1), the device will send out the generated jnxMacChangedNotifications and archive the MAC change notification events in the jnxMacHistoryTable. If the value of jnxNotificationEnabled is false(2), the device will not send out the generated jnxMacChangedNotifications but it will archive these events in the jnxMacHistoryTable. If the value of this object is equal to 0, the device will generate jnxMacChangedNotifications and archive the MAC change notification events in the jnxMacHistoryTable as soon as there is MAC address learnt or removed by the device. If the value of this object is greater than 0, the device will wait for a period of time equal to the value of this object before generate the jnxMacChangedNotifications and archive the MAC change notification events in the jnxMacHistoryTable.ro

jnxMacNotificationsEnabledIndicates whether jnxMacChangedNotification notifications will or will not be sent when there are MAC addresses learnt or removed from the device's forwarding database. Disabling notifications does not prevent the MAC address info from being added to the jnxMacHistoryTable.ro

jnxMacHistTableMaxLengthThe upper limit on the number of entries that the jnxMacHistoryTable may contain. A value of 0 will prevent any history from being retained. When this table is full, the oldest entry will be deleted and a new one will be created.ro

jnxMacHistoryTableThis table will archive the MAC change notification events generated by this device. The MAC change notification events are archived here even if jnxMacChangesNotifications are not actually sent.
SEQUENCE OF JnxMacHistoryEntry
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.40.1.7.1.1.1.8
jnxMacHistoryEntryA MAC change notification message that was previously generated by this device. Each entry is indexed by a message index.

.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.40.1.7.1.1.1.8.1
jnxHistIndexAn index that uniquely identifies a MAC change notification event previously generated by the device. This index starts at 1 and increases by one when a MAC change notification is generated. When it reaches the maximum value, the agent wraps the value back to 1.

jnxHistMacChangedMsgThis object contains the information of a MAC change notification event. It consists of several tuples packed together in the format of '<tuple1><tuple2>...'. Each tuple consist of 13 octets in the format of '<operation><VLAN><MAC><dot1dBasePort>' where <operation> is of size 1 octet and supports the following values 0 - End of MIB object. 1 - MAC learnt. 2 - MAC removed. 3 - MAC updated. <VLAN> is VLAN number of the VLAN which the MAC address is belonged to and has size of 2 octet. <MAC> is the Layer2 Mac Address and has size of 6 octets. <dot1dBasePort> is the value of dot1dBasePort for the interface from which the MAC address is learnt and has size of 4 octets.ro

jnxMacNotificationsPrefixAll Mac Notifications are registered under this branch.
OBJECT IDENTIFIER
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.40.1.7.2.0
jnxMacChangedNotificationThis notification is generated when there is enough MAC address information to fully occupy a maximum size SNMP trap message. This notification is also generated when there is at least one MAC address changed or removed and the amount of time elapsed from the previous notification is greater than the maximum wait time denoted by jnxNotificationInterval object. If there are more MAC addresses information than can fit into one cmmHistTrapContent object, then multiple notifications will be generated.
